User Notes for Supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems In the Prerequisite checker screen, you may get the following may message: An error occurred while attempting to execute a Visual Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual Basic files are installed correctly. This error occurs when the Prerequisite checker uses the vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic [VB]) script to verify the installation environment and fails for some reason. The possible causes are: Issue Description: Incorrect Internet Explorer Security settings. Resolution: Ensure that Active Scripting is enabled. Click Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Scripting > Active Scripting > Enable. Ensure that Scripting of Java Applets is enabled. Click Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Scripting > Scripting of Java Applets > Enable Issue Description: Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VB scripts.

On the desktop, right-click My Computer, then go to Open > Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Look for the extension VBS and verify that the File Types is set to VBScript Script File.
